Screen Recording Software?

Does anybody know if there's a screen recording software out there for OSX (I'm on Mountain Lion) that lets you record video/audio on your screen in the background, so I can keep using my computer while it records? There are a couple apps like that for windows but I haven't been able to find anything for Mac.

I always use Quicktime because it's built-in, good quality, and simple. If you want to record the system audio (like a Youtube video and its audio) and not stuff from the built in mic you can use Sound Flower.

I use Demo Recorder, it is free and you can record as much as your hard drive will allow. Only problem is the sound it records is from the mic, so if you talk or type it pics it up....kinda annoying. Haven't used it in a while so not sure if they have an update yet.

FYI - for those interested in screen recording, my ebook "Conceptual Guide to ScreenFlow" explains how to edit videos & build screencasts in ScreenFlow for Mac OS X, is available FREE TODAY on the Kindle Store. It will again be FREE end of this month on September 26-28, 2013. Thanks.
